He said as long as it's not in large amounts over the course of a week or longer he said they will slow down on milk production some but if she's otherwise healthy and has a good diet that it shouldn't be a lingering problem, just got done feeding up and my female has been off anti biotics for a week now and I've been doubling down on the fat in her diet and she's starting to produce better now, I'm still supplementing the goats milk twice a day and canned food mixed with it in the evenings just for safe measure...

Another thing he pointed out that if a lactating female is on antibiotics and her pups are nursing that the pups will lose hair in spots, nothing serious but if it's noticed it's happening to not be alarmed thats it's normal, he took me to another farm and showed me dairy calves that eat out of a bucket, the milk they are drinking is from cows treated with AB's and instead of wasting the milk bc it can't be sold or used they feed their bottle calves and some of those calves were missing hair around their muzzles from where they stick it in the milk, he said he has no explanation for it but is sure there is and it's just something he's seen time after time over the years and it's nothing to be alarmed about...
